Calibra front Brake conversion to a Corsa B

[MattyB]

Hi can anyone help me with my break issue?

I am looking to change my front brakes on my 1.0ltr corsa to Calibra front brakes. (The engine will be following eventually).

My question is what do i need to change them and can everything be found on a scrap yard car?

If it is possible to get the bits from a scrap yard car i would obviously buy new discs and brake pads.

Cheers in advance.

just the calipers basicly
the discs and pads best off buying new ones

you will also need to get a bigger brake servo but you can always get this off the doner car (that your getting the engine off)

il also reccomend upgrading the rear drums to discs

I've a set of front breaks on mine from a cav sri, should be the same, bolted straight up. haven't done a servo, not sure if there is any defference between them on corsa's. the only thing is if you manage to get the 280 something mm breaks which are on the turbos i think you'll need 15" wheels min and the disks are a bit more money cos you'll need to get custom 4 stud instead of the standard 5, I think.
